When Should I Transplant?? - Solo Cups To Pots

[Dr.Dankz]

In that cloner I found it best to only use half of the spaces skip ever other one. That will get you the best root growth.

Just a little trick for next time.. stick seeds in CLEAR solo cup with holes popped in the bottom then drop it in a red cup with the outside marked what's what.. something like this...this way you can lift the cup and see roots.. I'll take a pic, hopefully decent enough quality for you to tell..

Here's what you'll see.. then you take the guess work out of when to transplant :)

I'd wait 1-2 more weeks. Leaning twords the 2 week mark. Let those roots fill the cup, then pot.

Agreed 4 sets of true leaves - recommend at least 1 or 2 additional incremental "up-pot's before going into 15 gal.

Hello,

It's week 3 and 1 day since they broke ground (St. Paddys Day)
I'm thinks of transplanting them tomorrow into 2 gallon containers for 3 weeks until final home of 15 gallons.

I've also been under 4 philips led 5000k light bulbs for seedling but have a nice 12 cob led array awaiting for when plants are ready.

My questions are:
1. Am I good to transplant yet?
2. When do I switch to more intense light
3. Is it better to transplant when soil is dry or wet as I watered Friday night.

Any other advice is appreciated.

Thank you.

next time put them in a clear cup, then the clear cup in a blue cup, then u can look through to see root development but also keep light off the roots. Good luck
